· The bottle has been stored correctly. However no guarantee can be given over the wine as it is from 1989.
· The shipping costs is R80 per bottle (if more than one bottle is ordered the shipping per bottle will get reduced significantly)- this is due to the delicate nature of the item.
· You are bidding on 1 bottle, if you would like more than 1, please indicate so, I have 10 available as I couldn’t help myself but drink the other 2!
